Living Fully: Roxane’s Inspirational Goodbye

Roxane has been on a nine month journey with pancreatic cancer and now has only days or weeks to live. She explains why she chose to get aggressive treatment early on and later decided to stop treatment and transition to hospice. Roxane's story and optimistic outlook are uplifting because she is living every moment...while she's dying. Key Takeaways Use every living moment wisely. Even if you're getting aggressive treatment and have hope that cancer treatment will be successful, take advantage of all the time you have. Address the details that give you comfort and control; this will eventually decrease the burden on your family. Hospice is not something to be afraid of. Studies have shown that patients in hospice actually live longer than those with a similar diagnosis who don't receive hospice care. Unfortunately, over 1/2 of all patients are only in hospice for 17 days or less because patients are referred so late in their illness.

Can I Protect Myself From Breast Cancer? (with Liz O’Riordan, MD)

What happens when you turn 40 (and you also have boobs)? Well, since May 2023, the USPSTF has recommended that women at average risk for breast cancer start screening with mammograms beginning at age 40, and undergo mammography every other year.  These updated recommendations are still “in progress” and the USPSTF cites the urgent need for more research on:  breast cancer screening for people with dense breasts (nearly half of all women),  how to particularly protect women of color In the US, there exists a long history of health disparities across screening and treatment for breast cancer.  The Task Force discusses, for example, that Black women are 40% more likely to die than White women, and too often get aggressive cancers at young ages.  So, Your Doctor Friends are taking a page from America’s Sweetheart (and breast cancer survivor herself) Katie Couric. You may remember Katie both underwent a colonoscopy AND a mammogram on the Today Show, and YDF Julie wants to do the next best thing- consult with a breast cancer expert before she gets her FIRST EVER MAMMOGRAM! Your Doctor Friends have the absolute honor to present our guest today, a consummate badass, breast cancer survivor and breast surgeon, to walk Julie through her own personal risk assessment and screening process for breast cancer.  Finally, we want to take some time at the end of this episode to share the story of a dear friend and colleague, a fellow sports medicine doctor, and absolute amazing human being, who very recently lost her life to breast cancer. She is the inspiration for this episode and Your Doctor Friends think it’s important to talk about her, and are so grateful to her family for their consent to share her story.  Learn more about Dr. Kristin Abbott here. Alright, let’s get on with it, can we answer the question: Can I protect myself from breast cancer? ENTER Dr. Liz O’Riordan to help us find out! Dr O'Riordan is an expert breast surgeon who has had breast cancer three times. She's a best-selling author, speaker, broadcaster and podcaster and is a trusted source of reliable information.  She shares helpful, approachable, valid breast cancer information online, we found her via her IG account @oriordanliz, she also has a podcast called “So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer”, and she’s published tons of helpful work, including her book “The Complete Guide to Breast Cancer” and her memoir “Under the Knife”. She also has her own wikipedia page, which is pretty rad :) Resources for today's episode include: Dr. O'Riordan's website. Link to the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator for breast cancer.

Black Maternal Health Week: Stories of Survival

When Marian Dancy speaks, her story resonates with an urgency that commands attention. It's a tale that is all too familiar, yet still desperately needs to be heard: a stark illustration of why self-advocacy is not just important, but potentially life-saving in Black maternal health. On Beyond Clinical Walls, we open our hearts to the powerful narratives of Marian, and Leslie Jordan who, with harrowing clarity, recounts her own experience with pain mismanagement. Together, these women's voices form a symphony of strength, drawing a spotlight on the pressing need to address the healthcare disparities that leave Black mothers at risk.As we navigate through these deeply personal and eye-opening accounts, we uncover the nuanced relationship between a patient's composure and the perception of pain in the healthcare setting. The humbling journey Leslie shares, marked by a near-loss of life, reveals the stark consequences of cultural insensitivity and the importance of recognizing and validating pain in all its forms. Their stories are not isolated incidents; rather, they are part of a broader conversation that extends well beyond Black Maternal Health Week. This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability, patient education, and relentless advocacy in the fight for equitable healthcare.Wrapping up this episode, we reflect on resilience, gratitude, and the profound realization that our struggles do not define our worth. I, Dr. BCW, invite you to carry the empowering messages from Marian and Leslie with you—let them be a beacon of hope in challenging times. Thank you for joining us on this journey, where the shared experiences of our guests remind us of our shared humanity and the critical need for change in the narrative of Black maternal health.Thank you for Listening to Beyond Clinical Walls Podcast.To find more from Dr. BCW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondClinicalWalls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_bcw/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_bcw Twitter: https://twitter.com/dr_bcw

The Power of Empathy in Parkinson’s Disease Advocacy with George Ackerman

As we sit down with the fervent Dr. George Ackerman, he unveils the depths of his dedication to battling Parkinson’s disease, a quest born from the profound loss of his beloved mother, Sharon. "Together for Sharon" is not just an initiative; it's a beacon of hope, symbolizing the relentless fight against the silent encroachment of a disease that robbed him of a loved one. Our conversation traverses the rough terrain of early detection, the pitfalls of misdiagnosis, and the overarching need for heightened awareness. Dr. Ackerman imparts the tale of his mother's battle with Parkinson's, her struggles with its surreptitious symptoms, and the dire need for our collective resolve in this escalating fight. We weave together the power of human stories, which serve as the catalyst for change and a torchlight pointing towards a more informed future, where Parkinson's disease is not a whispered fear but a challenge we meet head-on.The dialogue takes a turn to spotlight the broader societal implications of understanding Parkinson's, touching on the heartrending incident of a woman with Parkinson's unjustly ousted from TikTok due to misinformed perceptions. The urgent call for comprehensive education within law enforcement becomes apparent, emphasizing its criticality in sensitively managing interactions with those affected by such conditions. My own journey of interviewing individuals across the globe who live with Parkinson’s threads into our discussion, underscoring the transformative power of shared knowledge and empathy. This episode is an intimate expedition outside the traditional clinical confines, inviting listeners to join a movement where awareness isn't just about recognition but about active and compassionate support.

The Bravery of the Brokenhearted – A Big Brothers Perspective on Grief From the Loss of a Sibling with Sanfilippo Syndrome with Noah Siedman

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 225 The Bravery of the Brokenhearted - A Big Brothers Perspective on Grief From the Loss of a Sibling with Sanfilippo Syndrome with Noah Siedman Noah Siedman was a big brother to Ben who had Sanfilippo Syndrome, a devastating disease that leads to childhood dementia and premature death. He joins me to talk about his sibling experience and dealing with grief. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS As a sibling under potential pressure to not be a burden, do you still carry those feelings even after Ben's passing? It's hard as a sibling to see everything your parents are facing that's out of your control. As a sibling, there's a need to be on top of your own care and your own emotions. There were no casual complaints in my family growing up. It was either a disaster or business as usual. Filling in that middle space where you have a bad day and want to talk about it didn't exist. We've had to work on that as a family because that's not how we've functioned.  What coping mechanisms help you to write and talk about your experience? I came to the realization that I was going to be emotionally vulnerable, which is uncomfortable. Knowing I would have to talk about my experience and brother, I had to accept it, put it out front, and get really good at talking about it comfortably. I got more comfortable talking about the progression of my brother's disease and my feelings around him, and I used it as a shield.  What would you say to the young person who is living the same life you were living and what questions should people ask that person? The first thing that I would say, and maybe the best thing to ask that person, is about their roles. When do you feel like a sibling? When do you feel like a caregiver? When do you feel like you're an advocate? When do you feel like you are just you? I got stuck in trying to be a lot of those things at once, where the easiest role to ignore was being just me. But everything you push down morphs into something worse. Frustration turns into resentment, fear turns into trepidation, sadness becomes melancholy.  What are the misconceptions people have about death? The biggest problem with grief is that no amount of experience is applicable. It defies the ability to be prepared for it or to use your past to help you cope. I don't think grief gets easier, I think you get better at it. Those that try to give advice to people that are grieving are hanging on to the idea that that time will heal. It's not that your grief goes away, it's that you get better at it. How has your relationship with your sister changed? Ben's death brought us closer and we do a good job of communicating despite handling things differently. There's no right or wrong way to navigate life with a sibling who has a genetic disorder, so we don't judge each other and we're honest with each other.  As a parent, how do you help siblings to have a better experience? Abandon the idea that you owe siblings normalcy. My parents put a lot of effort into delivering normal childhood experiences. Instead, put that energy into helping your children articulate what they want. More important than chasing normal is helping siblings decide what's important to them and how to pursue it.

Polypharmacy and prescribing cascades

Join us for a discussion on medication awareness and prescribing cascades with Paula Rochon, a geriatrician. As we embark on a new year, many focus on diet and exercise resolutions, but overlooking medication management can have profound implications for health. With nearly 4 in 10 adults over 65 taking five or more medications, polypharmacy is a pressing concern. In this episode, Paula shares insights into the risks of polypharmacy, particularly for older adults, and illuminates the phenomenon of prescribing cascades. Learn how recognizing and addressing prescribing cascades can mitigate unnecessary medication use and improve patient outcomes. Paula Rochon is a geriatrician. She discusses the KevinMD article, "Now is a good time to reassess your medications with your clinician." Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.

Listen Again | 72: Marathons with Meaning

We’re cheering on runners in the 2024 Boston Marathon this week by having another listen to our episode featuring Nurse Practitioner, elite runner, and Guinness World Record holder, Samantha Roecker, FNP. A competitive runner and nurse, she has a *track record* (pun intended) of breaking barriers and addressing stigmas, and for the 2022 Boston Marathon, she combined her passion for nursing and running into mental health advocacy and raising awareness for healthcare workforce well-being. Inspired by British nurse and marathon record holder, Jessica Anderson, Sam embarked on a bold goal – breaking the Guinness World Record for fastest marathon run in a nurse’s uniform and raising thousands of dollars to support nurse well-being. In this episode, we talk with Samantha about her record-breaking run, the impact stigma has on seeking mental health services and preventing people from reaching their potential, the power of nurse-specific mental health support, and the surprising overlap between nursing and competitive running.    Find this episode’s resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and for more information on podcast bundles, visit ANA’s Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.
